Writing in Books, Part Three

Booking Through Thursday


1. Speaking of writing in books, what about writing the entire thing? Do you write? Aspire to write? Dream about writing?

- I have always admire the many people(all authors alike) who write great stories. I have always been a reader since I was kids. Not until When I was in either 6th or 7th grade, one of our assignment was to write a story. So I did. I remember sitting on chair in front of the kitchen table writing Halloween story. With one of my friend, who also in the same class, sitting next to me, we will keep writing and writing and writing. We didn't want to stop. We had to read our stories in front of the class. I'm always nervous standing in front of people. I don't do well, with crowd. But feeling nervous and with a shaky hand, I began to read it out loud. And added sound to my story where need, like when the door creak or the clock bong...etc. At the end, the whole class clapped for me. I knew then that my story was great. I even got an A for this assignment :) After that, I knew I dream about becoming a writer. Many authors today, have inspired me to atlease try my hand in writing. I have written 3 stories since then, which is still on my folders. And no one ever read it. *grin*.
P.S. - As for my friend, when it her turn to read it out loud, she end up passed out and didn't finish the story. She was more nervous than I was hehehe *grin*


2. If you do write, do you do it for yourself, or because you hope to be published? (Or because you ARE published?)

- I started out writing the 3 stories to only entertained myself. I love to write and then look back at them to see how much my writing have changed. I wrote this 13 years ago, and no one knew about it. And nor have they ever read it either. I don't think I would make a good writer, although I do hope to be published someday :)
